CISRS Accreditation for Nass Scafform

Nass Scafform was, until 2016, a registered CITB training center and has conducted training/certification for its senior team members on courses up to Level 3; however, last year CITB closed down its overseas operations and now operates in the UK only. The current recognized UK qualification in the Scaffolding Industry is the CISRS (Construction Industry Scaffolders Record Scheme) who now offer training & certification through centres in the GCC. Although major clients still accept CITB certification, Nass Scafform has begun the process of CISRS accreditation after sending a number of its senior staff from the Abu Dhabi scaffolding team to be trained and certified as ‘Supervisors’ & ‘Inspectors’. Training is also being carried out in Bahrain, and will be extended to Saudi Arabia and Qatar in the near future. Mr. Sean Hickinson, Regional General Manager Nass Scafform, said: “CISRS, which has superseded CITB certification, is the preferred scaffolding qualification of major organisations including CSCS, NASC, HSE, Build UK, UNITE, UCATT and the oil and gas sector, as well as the largest scaffold systems manufacturers in the world, and we are delighted to certify our staff as we continue to build our employee skillset.”
